Paranoia Anonymous Remailer Howto

These are the fundamental instructions to understand how remailer messages
are created: if you use a specific client, you won't need to learn this process,
but this text can help you anyway to understand how remailers work.

If you want to send an anonymous message, first of all create a file containing:
- two colon signs ( :: ) in the first line,
- the phrase "Anon-To: e-mail address" in the second line
whereby the e-mail address should be the address the remailer will send the message to.
The third line should be empty and the message text will follow.

Remailers only accept messages encrypted through PGP or GPG, so your message
must be encrypted with the remailer public key, which you can get by sending
a message to the remailer (mixmaster@remailer.paranoici.org) and by entering "remailer-key"
in the subject.

So the above message must be encrypted with the remailer PGP key and eventually
sent to mixmaster@remailer.paranoici.org by entering two colon signs at the beginning
of the message and, in the second line, the phrase "Encrypted: PGP" followed by
the previously encrypted message.

The remailer will decode your message and send it anonymously.
If you want to include a subject or other headers which shouldn't
be filtered by the remailer, you can enter them as explained below
before encrypting the message for the remailer:

Even if PGP encryption is very safe, using a remailer in the simplest way
is not the best system for protecting your identity. Therefore, you can
tell the remailer, for instance, to keep the message you've sent for a certain
period of time and to forward it later so as to avoid the so-called
traffic analysis.
If you enter the header Latent-Time: +2:00, your message will be delayed
by 2 hours, while if you use the syntax Latent-Time: +5:00r,
you'll have a random delay between 0 and 5 hours.

The best way to use a remailer is by using them in a chain, by sending a message
from one remailer to the other before it reaches your addressee.
Let's make an example with the above message:
